A {{pkmn2|wild}} female Bewear living on [[Melemele Island]] debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. She took a liking to {{TRT}} and allowed them to live in her den. She would also protect them from blasting off by grabbing and carrying them while sprinting. In [[SM096]], Bewear was reunited with her child, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Stufful}} that had been living at [[Aether Paradise]] after being rescued by [[Wicke]].

Bewear appears as a Pokémon summoned from the [[Poké Ball]]. It moves slowly across the stage and attacks by using an upright {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Bewear also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

Biology

Bewear is a black and pink Pokémon resembling a bear. Its legs and the front of its body are black, while its head, back, and tail are pink. Across the top of its head is a white band with two tufts of fur on each end. This white marking gives it the appearance of wearing a headband with decorative bear ears. It has a short, white muzzle with a triangular black nose. There are pink paw pads on its front paw, and white digital pads on its hind. It has a short tail with dark pink rings.

While Bewear may appear friendly, it is actually a very dangerous Pokémon — even considered to be the most dangerous Pokémon in Alola. It must never be approached carelessly, even if it is merely swinging its arms around in a friendly fashion. It shows affection with a fond embrace, but its hugs have incredible force. Trainers of this Pokémon must teach it how to restrain itself when showing affection. [1]As seen in the anime, Bewear is capable of doing incredible feats such as jumping very high and moving very fast, even being able to run on water.
